Thorns, Roses and Murder: A Molly McGuire Cozy Mystery
In a village divided by suspicion, only one woman dares to seek the truth.
Molly Fitzgerald is looking forward to a peaceful spring in her Irish village of Dooley. The annual Garden Festival is about to begin, her bookshop is thriving, and life seems perfect. But when an American newcomer threatens to destroy the beloved war memorial garden, tensions explode—and murder follows close behind.
Prudence Ashford had big plans to modernize Dooley, complete with blackmail schemes targeting half the village. When she's found dead among the heritage roses she wanted to bulldoze, all eyes turn to Betty Brown, the fierce guardian of the memorial garden. But Molly knows her grandmother's best friend is innocent.
As bodies pile up and a killer grows bolder, Molly must navigate her own secret news, leprechaun warnings, and her detective husband's fears to uncover the truth. With help from her grandmother's supernatural sight and an unlikely group of elderly investigators, she races to find the real murderer before an innocent woman pays the ultimate price.
A cozy Irish mystery where ancient magic meets modern murder.
